I wouldn't be suprised if after the layoff, we hear 6 months later "Microsoft hires thousands" in Vancouver[^].

ROTFL - I love it when people get given a great website to use for free, and then get this sense of entitlement. Chris, where is our list ? Surely you worked at midnight on new years eve to have it ready for us ? Our lives are DEFINED by that list, dammit !!!!
I am interested to see if I am still an MVP, given that I stopped answering for a bit when I became disenchanted due to Microsoft throwing me on my ear for not toeing the company line. But, it will come when it comes, and I am always glad that this site exists, and that I can use it for free. I know I am getting more than my moneys worth.

I missed that (I don't even know if you wrote about, I just read a rant in you sign, one day). Was it for you opinions about Vista (just curious, perhaps too much...)?

Their official story was obviously BS, they didn't actually say 'we kicked you out for not promoting Vista', but it's the only explanation that makes any sense.

Well, actually they were right since Vista, without your promotion, was pretty a flop.

All the more reason for them to be bitter that some of their MVPs were not cheering it on.

What's the MVP list and why is it so important?
EDIT: and why doesn't that icon work?
2nd EDIT: Okay, now it's working...

It is the list of this movie [^] fans.

Yes, MVP stands for Most Valuable Professional and it is a CP's award, similar to the Microsoft's one [^], see also [^].

Ah, I see. You're currently an MVP and most likely want to retain your status.
Got it.

In Christians' case, I think it stands for Many Virtual Problems, if his more recent posts are anything to go by.

I did preliminary list yesterday and am still going through the list so I don't get a spate of "Why is that [insert abusive term] on the list and not ME?????" emails.
